2014 Red Wine

Vinous, 93 points: Lindstrom's 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon has turned out beautifully. Deep, intense and richly textured, the 2014 graces the palate with an intriguing array of black cherry, plum, graphite, licorice and spice overtones. Rich...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: Aromas of blackcurrant, mushroom, wet earth and bark follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a stone, berry, chili and spice aftertaste. Muscular and chunky. Very serious. Almost no new oak. This shows the...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Dark currants and berries with walnuts on the nose. Follows through to a full body, integrated tannins and a gorgeous finish. Exciting. Wow. Drink in 2020.

Vinous, 95 points: The 2014 Tenuta degli Dei is fabulous. In fact, the 2014 is one of the best recent vintages of this wine I can remember tasting. Aromatically expressive and inviting, the 2014 is terrific. Stylistically, it is perhaps not...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The more recent 2014 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra was finally my favorite of all the bottles I tasted in this sitting, which were quite a few. This aged in ancient large clay amphorae and used 500- and 600-liter French oak...

TheWineCellarInsider.com, 94 points: (92–94 points) This is probably the best vintage of Meyney produced to date. It’s certainly the best wine I’ve tasted from the estate. (And I have tasted wines dating back to 1929!) Vibrant in color with strong aroma of...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: (WE94-96 points) This is a powerful, dark fruited wine, with firm tannins and a dense texture of solid, dry tannins that gives weight. A freshness comes through at the end, making this a finely balanced wine.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The only wine produced for now in Ribera del Duero is the 2014 Matallana, a wine that has the same name as the previous 2013, but in reality, it's as if it's a completely new wine. It's a blend of nine vineyards in five...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Some earthy and savory aromas dominate the dried red cherries initially, then dried wild herbs and quite intense notes of spicy dried red cherries emerge. The palate has a very taut, structured feel with handsomely...

View From The Cellar, 95 points: The 2014 Mazis-Chambertin from Domaine Harmand-Geoffroy was also still in tank and awaiting its bottling in the coming weeks, but it was a tad less grumpy than the Lavaux St. Jacques at the time of my visit. The nose...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2014 Sammarco was bottled in August and will be released in January 2019. The blend is 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Sangiovese. At this young stage, the wine already offers an impressive array of complex...

Vinous, 92 points: (92+ points) (bottled the week before my visit): Dark, bright red. Medicinal black cherry on the reticent nose. Concentrated and very primary, conveying a strong impression of energy to the flavors of black cherry...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: This wine is released as Martelo in Spain but that be renamed as Finca Martelo in the international market. So, I tasted the 2014 again but this time labeled as 2014 Finca Martelo. The wine hasn't changed much since the...

Vinous, 94 points: Deep red. Deep-pitched red and dark berry aromas are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, incense and lavender, and a subtle hint of Indian spices emerges with air. Juicy and deeply concentrated yet lithe...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: The fruit and depth of this wine is very pretty. With brightness and transparency. Plums, and cherries with dried flowers and spices. Medium to full body, bright fruit and acidity. A powerful finish. A fantastic 2014...
